In my script, I have a function foo which basically uses pynotify to notify user about something repeatedly after a time interval say 15 minutes.
def foo:
while True:
"""Does something"""
time.sleep(900)
My main script has to interact with user & does all other things so I just cant call the foo() function. directly.
Whats the better way of doing it and why? Using fork or threads?
